The Challenge
Impaired + weakened skin can be temporary or ongoing. It is often the result of a depleted protective barrier that causes increased water loss from skin and enables environmental irritants to enter skin + cause redness. It exhibits symptoms such as dryness, redness, rough texture and exacerbated signs of aging.
The Solution
Renewal + Recovery Crèmes are ZO’s functional hydrators uniquely engineered to restore natural skin hydration and to support the protective barrier for increased skin tolerance. Their benefits include calm, supple, hydrated and soft skin that is visibly refortified.

Fragility + Structure
Supports the appearance of strengthened skin around the neck
Crepiness
Helps soften the appearance of repetitive movement lines
Dryness + Texture
Restorative emollients richly replenish + smooth drier neck skin.

- Facilitate conditions to support skin’s natural repair + restoration
- Support skin’s barrier for increased tolerance + uniform complexion
- Do not impede natural cell exfoliation and turnover
Suggested Usage
